might be replacing my Computer monitor (28" HANNS-G) or just adding another monitor to complement these two.
but anyways, looking around.. i couldn't find any LED monitors that came in a bigger size then 24"
Also are there any 120hz/240hz LED monitors for the PC? or am i going to just have to buy a 28-34" LED television and plop that up on the desk?
haha using my computer on my friends 47" 240hz tv sold me on them.
i sh@# you all not, The picture tracing is on par, if not better then CRT monitors can do.
Pumping out 240fps+ on Solider of Fortune II was simply beautiful, you'd be suprised what you see when your up close fighting someone.
Age of chivarly i could still keep track of the guys i was fighting right up on my face, usually stuffs going down so fast it blurs and you'll loose what your trying to see... i think thats what really sold me on it.
oh and see rockets plain as day go shooting past the screen on insurgency. like "hey thats a green rocket with a orange stripe and 4 fins" detail while its zooming past the screen.
No budget on this one 500$-1400$ is what im looking at.
one of these 28" LCD panels will become the television downstairs.

Wait, do you have two 28" Hanns G monitors? I'm thinking about getting two more (I have one) and doing some Eyefinity stuff. How much would you want?

Yea but not for sale, 1 will stay up here as a secondary monitor, the other is going down stairs as a replacement for my ghetto CRT HDTV. (does 1080i lol)

Just a little clarification.. 240Hz does not equate to 240fps. The pixels might refresh several times before the frame actually changes. Just like 1080p content is typically 24-30fps, which means the pixels can refresh 8-10 times per frame.
I am not doubting the quality .. just clarifying some of the technical.

But if you have a video game pumping 200+ fps, then you would be getting that frame rate. However, most games today implement some amount of motion blur, which mimics real life motion blur and cinematic motion blur, making games more playable even at lower frame rates.

That is true.. what I meant or should have said was ..
240Hz does not automatically equate to 240fps.

Agreed. I'm just saying that there is the potential as was twigs, who was saying that viewing the actual fps vs being limited to the monitor Hz was a really great experience.

You should just get a third Hanns G. It's what I would do. Looking at these videos makes me want to spend the money and do it.

Yea the refresh rate on the television is 24hz/60hz.
But you could just tell the ultra crystal smooth movement like you could on the old glass monitors.
theres just less of a gap between frames the higher you go, even though you won't "see" all of them. in first person shooters, higher the fps, better the motion = Ultra kills.
SOF was going well up and above 240fps, its a pre 2000 video game, one of the very first online FPS games.
lol still popular as hell to this day, server list a mile long.

:eek: ...oh man, now I really want to get some more Samsung 2343's and a 5970... Too bad I don't have the money..or actually, maybe that's a good thing.

How did you not want a 5970 in the first place? lol
I really can't say I'd want to have 3 monitors on their side like that though. There are several issues with that to begin with but I honestly can't stand the 'black bars' being so close together. I think I'd be able to stand them if the three monitors weren't rotated and there was, say, 20" between the screen gaps. I guess I will only settle for 4 HD5970s and 6 30" monsters @ 7680x4800, 240Hz and a bazillion fps. Hmmm...maybe I can find a few companies to sponsor that...:)
And yes, there are several large [LCD] monitors but they're not very popular due to their price. LCD technology gets expensive over 30-40", which is why there are not too many big-screen LCD TVs. Of course, these monitors cost much more than a 30" LCD TV due to their sweet ass resolution.;)

...Unless you meant LED back-lit LCD monitors, in which case, probably not in a large size.

Hahaha, less of a 'didn't want to begin with', than a 'suppressed urge'.
I think my ideal would be 6 30" WQUXGA panels arranged in 2 rows of 3 each :D If I could have that in a single eyefinity array... :D

no but if ur monitor operates at that hz range... and u have the sync enabled... it does cap you at 240Hz/240FPS
and if u got the hardware to hold 240FPS solid.... my question is... where do u get all that damn money? lol

My ideal would be three 30 inch 2560 x 1600 monitors in portrait mode. My 28" is huge, and getting two more would be crazy. I think any bigger than that and I would no longer be thinking about improving the experience but compensating for something. From all the reviews I've read, portrait is the way to go. When you get that super wide landscape people say it is distracting and that the extra real estate turns more into fisheye than gameplay or immersion improvement.
When they start manufacturing bezelless, ultra-thin, LED backlit, 2560 x 1600 monitors at 27" or so, that's when I'll have to give up and just buy three of them. 4800x2560 would be insane, especially if the space between the monitors is somewhere between zero and one inch.

it still caps you at 60fps on them 240hz monitors.
24hz and 60hz were the only two options on my buddies LED TV.
i just set the sync lock in the control panel to 240hz.
cool thing about that television my buddy has.
it does classic 60hz, 120hz or tru motion 240hz (they aint bull ****ting about the "tru-motion")
I'd need a new video card if i wanted to run three or four monitors.
be back later all.

Yea.
Well on further review of my life, I went out and got my little girl a new bed, matching chest of drawers. and i got my girl one of them amazon kindles since she flippin loves books. and were going to put the rest into savings so it can make some cash for us :P.
Besides with a 2 1/4 year old little girl. i'm sure a LCD TV would take a beating. I'm just going to ride my CRT HDTV (haha does 1080i to) until shes older and quits wanting to touch the television screen.
Plus the ones i have now are a little older then a year now. and they kick a pretty good amount of ass for how much i paid for them. They certainly aren't the best monitors on the block in terms of contrast and CCFL bleeding.
But damn they are huge, and having come up off a 19" CRT to a 28" 1920x1200 progressive screen. hhaah i about #@$g my pants when i turned on episode 2 and cranked the graphics to maximum.
My only true complaint with the 60z is i do alot of racing/driving games. and having the whole screen (sort of) blur when i take a sharp corner can be a hassle. but these hanns-g's are pretty damn good for being a 60hz panel.

Sounds like the priorities are straight. :D I got a 4 and 5yr old. lol
I just got me a 23" Samsung and came from a 17" lcd. Huge difference!
Good Luck!
